Third-Year Sam Crowe is Studying Stars with NASA's Webb Telescope

wtju

UVA third-year Astrophysics major Samuel Crowe holds a distinct honor-- he's one of, if not the only undergraduate Principal Investigator with access to NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Last year, his research proposal was accepted as one of just 249 programs selected to make use of the telescope's valuable time. In this episode, Sam sits down with host Ken Ono to discuss his early love for astrophysics and history, his mentors and training at UVA, and what it means to lead a project exploring the origins of massive stars.
